Google’s ‘Project Tango’ tablet is a developer device that “provides unique sensing capabilities that allow developers to explore new user experiences not possible on other mobile devices.” A teardown has revealed that the device offers NFC.

“The goal of Project Tango is to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion,” says Google.

The 7-inch tablet, which is designed for professional developers interested in exploring the future of mobile 3D sensing, is powered by an Nvidia Tegra K1 processor and offers 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, motion tracking camera, integrated depth sensing, WiFi, BLE, and 4G LTE connectivity.

A teardown of the tablet undertaken by iFixit has uncovered what looks like a large NFC antenna in back of the device.
